With less than 15 inches of rain annually, and 15 miles of white sandy beach just a short walk away, why go anywhere else?

It’s delightful island style architecture and design will delight you in every way. There are 3 generous size bedrooms with 2 baths.

A short 5-minute walk to a lifeguarded beach insures your swimming safety. This begins a nearly deserted stretch of white sand that goes for miles…..all the way to the Na Pali Coast. Venture off to Polihale Beach, a wild natural beach, with majestic sand dunes serving as a backdrop. Take a hike in the Waimea Canyon, the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific” as Mark Twain called it. Instead of driving for hours to get there from other parts of the island, you are only a mile away from the back road leading directly to the top of the canyon and the NaPali coast cliffs. A stop at the Shrimp Station, or Island Tacos, for lunch will make the wait worthwhile, finished off with the island’s best sno cones at Jo-Jo Shave ice.

Love the true Hawaiian bungalow with all the amenities you might want. Style and history. Koke'e trip is faster from there. Amazing views of sunset and Ni'ihau! Great flexible space.

We had a bit of difficulty finding it in the dark. The place was perfect for our family. Very spacious and well equipped. Beautiful views and relaxing spaces. A little far from most of the action on the island but also pretty peaceful. Would stay again.

Our family had just an amazing time at this location. The owner was super responsive to our questions. I would suggest to plan a couple activities where you are back at the location for sunset where you can sit on the lanei. The view is outstanding and if you walk down the road a bit there is a beach to play on. This house was just perfect for our family as my oldest (21) had her own room, my youngest at (15) had his, and we had our own space. We loved the fully stocked with supplies kitchen. We ate breakfast here a lot. We stopped at Costco on way in the first night. The Big Save we went to the next day. Having a washer and dryer was fantastic. The living room was set up well so we could watch tv if we all wanted but also sit at dinning room table and chat into living room or look at ocean. I think after driving the island this is the best spot we could have chosen. We like the location of activities and will stay here again when we come back to visit. Cons were very few - the sound of oceans crashing on the rocks the first night was really loud but it’s just that I didn’t know what it was and now I will miss that sound so much, it’s on a main road so cars do pass but no traffic jams just a nice flow, the shower in the master is a step up and out but if you prefer you can use the other bathroom because there are 2 bathrooms on this property which was also a major plus for this family.
Highlights of island spots for us: Lydgate chocolate tours, driving up Waimea canyon all

Great location especially for a sunset. The area was quiet and safe. Must have a car to get to larger grocery store and all restaurants. During our stay, there is no visible beach in front of the house. Walked a half mile to the beach but road was safe. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Spacious house and beautiful location. Nice sized deck to sit and enjoy the scenery and sounds of the ocean. The sunsets are amazing! Though you cannot swim where this house is located there are nice beaches close by.
We enjoyed our stay!

My family enjoyed this beautiful home and this heavenly island! The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks across the street lulled us to sleep at night, and the roosters were our alarm clock. This was our second trip to Kauai but our first time exploring the southern coast - we can't wait to come back again!
The beach house was tidy and well-stocked. Beach towels, chairs, umbrellas and even beach toys for the kids were all available. It was like a home away from home.

Perfect place to stay. Amazing home; amazing views.

We loved being across the street from the roaring sound of the ocean waves, crashing onto the rock wall. We sat out on the deck at night just to hear that sound. So awesome! We only stayed here at night because we were gone all day seeing the island and exploring. Just a suggestion to future renters: go find this house while it's still daylight out. We got there late at night and it was a little hard to find. Lol. But no worries once we found it. Kauai island is one of the most beautiful places on earth and we hope to visit again someday.

My nephew lives two streets away and we were attending his wedding. This property was extremely clean. They had window a/c units in the two bedrooms and two in the main living area. We enjoyed the front porch watching the waves crash and the boating activity. The kitchen was well appointed. It was a lovely stay and communication with Scott was great. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property to anyone. You will enjoy yourselves..

Wonderful ocean view on elevated wraparound porch… great location to attractions at NaPali, Waimea Canyon, Polihale Beach, Hanapepe, Salt Pond Beach etc.
The property is spacious and capable of supporting family of 6. Great Room has ocean views and full kitchen. Bedrooms and baths are well equipped. Owner provides beach accessories which is fantastic.
HVAC is provided by window units and could be improved but does the job well at night.
Management is responsive and communicates well.
Overall we had great stay and would stay again.

Easily accommodated 6 guests. Loved that we were so close to Waimea Canyon and Polihale.....one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen (make sure you have 4wd)

We loved our time here...everything a beach house should be....your home away from home! If you are looking for a laid back and relaxing, small town, friendly area, with beautiful views.....this is the place for you!
The view off the lanai was amazing, a great way to start your morning, have a cup of coffee and watching the waves crashing. The house is right down from a local beach, no crowds which we loved, coming from Dallas, this was refreshing!
Thank you so much for sharing a little piece of God's creation with us!

The property did have air conditioning BUT it was indicated in the description that they were window units and a free standing. It was miserable 80’s in the living room beginning mid afternoon. So much so that we couldn’t do any cooking since it would heat up the kitchen/living area even more.
5.0
This place was fantastic. My family and I enjoyed it so much. Extremely spacious, sleeps 6 people VERY comfortably. We were able to see whales from the front deck while enjoying morning coffee. Very close to town and the closest place you can basically stay to a beach that directly abuts the south side of the Na pali coast. Additionally, very close to the mountains to get to Waimea canyon. A little tricky to find driving up but if you do it in the daylight unlike us you will be fine.

Absolutely loved the view of the ocean from the house. Loved listening to the ocean as I slept. The beach where can swim is about 5 minute walk from the house and is stunning length of soft sand. Felt like had it to ourselves. I personally thought it was one of the best beaches on the island. There are boogie boards, snorkeling gear, other beach toys at the house and we had an awesome time in the ocean with those. Would definitely stay here again. Felt blessed to have found this home. Thank you and so grateful.

We celebrated an 18th and 16th birthday with our daughters on this trip. We had plenty of space, beautiful long beach and it was nearly empty so we were able to have many gorgeous walks and pictures. Sunsets are gorgeous and you can hear the waves crashing in. Would def stay there again 🌈

The beach house was very nice - spacious and beautifully decorated. We all loved the lanai, where we had many meals together and enjoyed the amazing view of the ocean.

Excellent property, elevated home with ocean views indoors or out on lanai; quiet neighborhood.
We had a terrific trip and were very happy to have booked this property. 2 adults traveling with our 12-yr-old daughter, stayed 11 nights in mid July. Hosts were prompt & thorough with pre-checkin info as well as with q&a of local area prior to trip. The house was very clean and ready for us upon arrival. We only had 1 minor maintenance issue during stay and the local on-call maintenance man had it fixed within the hour.
The location was perfect for a family trip (quiet local neighborhood with many permanent residents / non-touristy area) with literally 1 min 30 sec drive north to public beach w/ lifeguards, 15 -20 min drive south to Salt Pond Beach (snorkel / boogie board beach with lifeguards). Only 5 min drive to local restaurants/shops/grocery (no national / commercial chain restaurants/stores in town but those options avail 20 min+).
Kitchen is fully stocked pots/pans etc., and we made majority of our meals right at the house with local groceries, and enjoyed the front row ocean views during meals. Gas grill on the lanai was very handy as well to grill up fish & lobster tails. Some beach chairs/boogie boards/masks/fins provided by house!
We had the good fortune to meet many nice local residents, including Allen (older gentleman who does the lawn and grounds maintenance) who took his own time after work to introduce us to some of his local friends who have horses / goats / sheep after learning of our daughter’s interest in animals. Many great local shops and food stands to support the local economy. We did a boat / snorkel tour that was only 20-30 min from house.
FYI’s regarding house / location. For travelers desiring 24-7 low temp AC (maybe Hawaii in July not your best bet to begin with) but… main portion of this house (open layout Kitchen/dining/liv room/ and the main bathroom & queen bedroom) all get a warm (mid -high 70’s) in afternoon despite two ac units covering this section of house (queen bedroom and main bathroom have no AC units). Ceiling fans in all rooms kept air circulating nicely. The 2 back bedrooms (master and guest) stay very cool 24-7 with window ac units. Also, this location will require drive time to reach East or North parts of Island. You cannot drive the full perimeter of island so will backtrack south, which keeps this neighborhood quiet/less traffic, but will require time to reach east/north areas.
Overall excellent property and we hope to return to this property again! Highly recommend!!

We loved the house. It was exactly as described, with good kitchen equipments and a lot of beach gears, all sizes!! Even during hot weather, the house stayed cold with the air conditioning. The beach is very closed and with really few people, not like the crowded beaches in Poi’pu. The house was pretty big. We were a family of 5 and there was definitely enough space for all of us. At night and during the day, the area was really calm. The house is also well positioned, between the beaches and close to Waimea canyon.
We’ll come back for our next trip to Kauai!!

This is a spacious comfortable home near the beach and Waimea Canyon. Loved the lanai! There is a lot of traffic on the road out front. We did have an issue with internet but property manager found a work around for us! Would recommend!

Perfect for relaxing to the sound of the waves crashing on the shore; Beautiful views; Great value for our Hawaii vacation.
We began planning our trip for April of 2020, and finally got to go in February of 2022. 5 friends fit comfortably in this spacious home. The lanai provided a perfect spot to begin and end each day. We appreciated the ample supply of beach and snorkel gear provided.

The unit was exceptionally clean. The kitchen was well stocked with everything necessary for a long stay and all instructions were very clear. Nice ac in the bedrooms and living room. Fantastic array of beach stuff provided—multiple beach chairs and umbrellas and enough snorkel and flotation gear for a small army. The only drawback was the street in front of the house was nearly always busy, but the wonderful view from inside made this a minor issue.
5.0
The house was in such a great location. Since it was on the west side of the island, we were able to see some spectacular sunsets from the porch and from Kekaha beach, just about one hundred yards away. The home itself was amazing as well. Nice wrap around deck with palm trees lining the property. We utilized the beach chairs and snorkel gear almost every day. While we only used the grill once, it was clean and a nice option to have. Highly recommend this place!
5.0
Lovely well appointed historic style cottage with all you might need for your relaxed west side vacation. Great selection of beach chairs, towels etc. Sunsets from the lanai overlooking Ni'ihau and can see whales from the lanai. Close to early visits to Koke'e is a wonderful advantage over the rest of the crowds. Great location to go to Port Allen for cruises or restaurants. Polihale trip is closer from here and it takes a while to drive the dirt road. Poipu only 20 minutes away. WONDERFUL!! Mahalo!
